Welcome to the Stour Sailing Club

We are located at Manningtree on the river Stour, Essex. We have nearly 300 members. Our interests include cruiser and dinghy racing, sail training and cruising. Members also row skiffs, paddle canoes and fish in the estuary. We welcome new members.

Manningtree makes an excellent base for cruising the rivers of the East Coast and across the North Sea and some of our members have cruised as far afield as the Baltic States and crossed the Atlantic.

Visitors are welcome and increasing as they get to know about this small attractive town that has all you need close at hand, including pubs, restaurants, shops, banks and a train service to London.

Those who sail into Mistley but then go the extra half mile to Manningtree will find a visitor’s mooring or short-term quayside berth, and a warm welcome at the clubhouse.

Manningtree is also on the doorstep of the Dedham Vale. Above Manningtree the river becomes non-tidal. A small craft such as a canoe can reach Sudbury, about 30 miles further inland.
